Devil Without A Cause

Just a nah for me

Guys I couldn’t do it he’s a #trumper

Not into this music so much.

This guy bragged about being a pedophile. I have no interest in hearing his music. "Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage see, Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory)" - Kid Rock, "Cool, Daddy Cool" *0* - fuck off

I know Bawitdaba and Cowboy from movies but this album is not something I can listen to

Fuck off yank scum, all of you.

Oof. This was hard to get through. It has aged very poorly. The word that kept coming to mind throughout the album was "juvenile." The rapping is actually really not very sophisticated. Sounds like a high school gym teacher. And also gave me a foreboding sense of dread as to the what was soon to descent upon the American psyche once the right fascist appeared on the scene. Even though there are way worse albums on the list, this was my most distasteful day so far.

One highlight, it brought back some great memories of my high school friend Shannon. This was her favorite CD

I lived through this I don’t need to listen ever again. 0/5

Surprisingly not as skin crawling as I was expecting. It's still ass though. 1 Star.

Very not my thing

Nope

Wow this was fucking terrible what the fuck

*no music, merely vulgar RAP and noise

29/100. Sounds like someone tried to make a budget Beastie Boys record but added a heavy dose of edge and questionable lyrical choices. It’s loud and brash. Definitely not my cup of tea.

Limp dipshit.

Yeah, no, this was a waste of time lol

https://media1.tenor.com/m/q6GpcKP4DW4AAAAd/disgust.gif Genuinely my least favorite album. Was suffering the entire time.

90% cringe 10% cringe in a good way. Very unlistenable, but glad I got to experience "THREE FOOT FIVE WITH A TEN FOOT DICK." Cowboy is fine when I'm drunk.

Rating plummeted the more the album went on. Many of the lyrics were whiny and inSANE sentiment. The music aside from his voice is pretty fine and has a lot more potential than what he ends up doing with it. Honoirrible mention: autotune song... bullgod does kinda go...

Yeah…NEVER. Dude is trash.

I’m not gonna listen to this album because I don’t feel like giving any money to people who actively tout that they want to use their platform to make others lives worse.

Fuck Chris Rock and everything he stands for l. Trans fights, free Palestine, fuck anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers. 1/5 and I did refuse to listen to this

boah na

Screw this guy...did not listen.

why the FUCK is this album on this list

- Gross, a bloodthirsty Zio. - Music for aggro middle-class white boy “Alphas” and incels to posture to their guy “friends”, because everyone knows that they don’t actually like women. - His terrible rapping ruins any potential that the songs had - there were some melodies that could have been enjoyable (e.g., the hits: Cowboy, Bawitdaba), but his weak voice and awful lyrics are so irritating. - I was going to say that maybe it would be better if he sang instead of rapping, but then the autotune country offering, Only God Knows Why came on, and I laughed. Yeah, guess that’s why he rapped. - I usually listen to the albums pretty loud so that I can hear all the detail, but this one, I kept turning down so there was no chance the neighbours would hear it. - And, just for that guy in the reviews who is mad that people don’t like racist misogynists… 0/5 to this racist misogynist Zionist MAGAt.

Very bad.

Shilling in the Name of

Why is this here

This music and the man himself make me sick.

Honestly the album was TRASH. it started great but progressed into BAD. 0/10. Plus the artist itself is problematic. 👍

Fuck this guy and his “music”

No

I listened to this back when it was brand new and I didn’t know any better. Even back then, it was 2 stars at best. Fuck this guy. 0/5.

Unlistenable trash. Only gets one star for the music he stole from other more talented artists.

Nope. I have better things to do with my life. For only the second time, to quote track 12, “Fuck Off”.

Nej.

kid boy!

I guess I just don't get the appeal of this type of noise, oh, I mean music. It just seemed to grandiose men, denigrate women, and made sex some kind of punishment. The constant hard drums. electric guitars, and foul language were actually giving to me a headache so that I had to stop and let my ears rest from all the sound. I did finish the album. Every song was the worst song with the exception of, "Only God Knows Why" which was different from the rest of the album. Best song, "Only God Knows Why".

I kinda liked “cowboy” cuz I would listen to it with my dad and we’d make fun of it. Good times. Other than that, not a fan of kid rock or his music.

We've finally found it. The worst song of all time... "Black Chick, White Guy" by Kid Rock. I hated this so much.

The boing sound effects on cowboy? 😭😭 also holy shit these lyrics are terrible. I’m sorry kid rock I don’t wanna hear about you cumming all over some guys wife. Literally sounds like someone told chat gpt to write lyrics as a 13 yr old boy. I used to listen to some of Tyler’s earlier music and those lyrics are insane but at least the songs sound deserving of edgy lyrics yk? ALSO THE FUCKING LITTLE KID ON THE TITLE TRACK LMAOO get me out of heree 😭 the autotune on only god knows why is pretty bad. A little annoyed thinking about how there’s no björk or neutral milk hotel on this list but this somehow got a spot. Least bad song: bawitdaba

Truly some of the worst lyrics I’ve ever heard, but at least they were so bad it was almost entertaining

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Look even putting how big of a dipshit he is aside, this is just terrible music. The cringeiest lyrics, and a terrible terrible sound from an era that already sounds bad. I love that he cosplays like he's from the trailer park when the dude grew up rich af. Imagine being rich af but trying to cosplay like your least favorite cousin. The only solace I got was that this album wasn't on Spotify so I didn't give this shitstain any money. 1/10. Would be 0 if I could.

It's pretty bad. It sounds like an attempt to copy RATM while failing miserably.

NOOOOOOO! What a mistake to include this disaster of an album on this list. It’s in reality an album that the Devil spins on his Crosley turntable over and over for eternity, after you die and are sent to hell.

# Album Name: Devil Without A Cause # Artist: Kid Rock # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Got to be some of the worst American music ive ever heard The lyrics are for 5 year olds. # Top Tunes: No # Would I listen to it again? No

Fuck you.

I can't

“Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy, diggy said the boogie, said up jump the boogie” repeated over and over and over again over monotonous, tuneless noise. Good Lord in heaven above, I can’t even begin to explain how moronic this all is. Total gibberish. And we’re supposed to think this is good?? Anybody over the age of 14 who liked this record needs to take a long look in the mirror and form a plan with a therapist to solve the emotional issues in their soul. This album is utter rubbish. It’s a damning indictment of American culture when this can sell 14 million copies. The music is either trudging nu-metal or grating country style twangy guitars, topped with crass, misogynistic lyrics that would make any of the “look how rich I am, bitch” rappers seem humble. Kid Rock made this record to appeal to angry teenagers, but the reality is that it is soulless, commercialised rebellion for people who don’t know any better. I have to tip my hat to him for making millions of dollars without a shred of artistic integrity, but it doesn’t excuse this abomination. Everybody involved in bringing it to existence should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

I almost gave this a 2 because it's fairly competent. Almost.But it's all surface level. Kid Rock is actually a pretty good producer, but holy fuck I cannot stand this rapping. Decent at best and at worst it's unlistenable. It's the tough guy macho-ness of House of Pain without any of the skill. I'm sure this is harsher too because of an initial dislike of Kid Rock too but that doesn't make this a good album.

Pretty awful - not sure why it is on the list

I recently learned that “bawitdaba” is short for “baby with a bad attitude”. Ponderous. I get why this was huge back in the late ‘90s, but it is just not doing it for me now. I could not finish the album. Boi-oi-oi-oi-oing. Goo-goo-gah-gah, indeed.

I will say this about Kid Rock. Too many shitty people make decent music. He’s a shitty person who makes shitty music. So thanks.

Yeah, naw. I’m not even going to listen to this album or terrible person. Automatic 1 star.

That was... really bad.

Garbage when it was released, dated garbage now. I can't fathom why this would be among the 1001 albums anyone would need to hear

This is one of the worst musical atrocities ever committed. I actually purchased this album when it was new and boy was I disappointed by how terrible it was.

In truth it’s not the worst album ever but it’s Kid Rock so I can think of few people less deserving of a fair listen

Damn, I really had to listen to a full Kid Rock album. This guy is on the same level as Kanye West for me. Just absolute filth and ego. I despise him as a person, but I'll separate the art from the artist. The album itself definitely gives off redneck Kanye West vibes and Kid sings/raps about trailer park and trashy hood life. I sometimes get Hollywood Undead party vibes from some of the songs. It's alright, I do not like Kid Rock's music, personally. 3/10

How did this make it onto this list? This guy has zero talent.

Wow he's awful

I cannot care for the critical acclaim of an album that aged like milk (50% artist, 50% that this style of music did not age well or evolved into something better a la System of a Down). There's already two RATM albums on this list, the Beastie Boys are surely covered. This is a waste of an album space that should go to some critically acclaimed band from China or Central Asia that a 'Westerner' wouldn't know about. Or like, a single Ween album.

Music was ok, the man’s a wanker. Not for me

The road to President Trump was laid by white GenXers, and the warning signs have been there since the late nineties.

Dont really care for this

Walmart Limp Bizkit. I'd give it more like 1.5 tbh because I'm definitely not a fan (been avoiding listening to this album for weeks since it came up), but I have heard worse. An hour of my life I will never get back unfortunately </3

No I don't think I will

Why is this crap on this list? Quit smoking meth, or you’ll end up like kid rock..

I couldn't even finish the first song. What the fuck is this.

you know, seems to be an infamous entry in the 1001 albums project. i've seen many a post and many a review of this album as if it's an affront to music. "it can't be that bad," i said to myself the day i got this generated, "i mean it has to have some amount of merit to be included on this list." well, i can safely say that i fall in line with the people, why the fuck did i have to listen to this? it's not a good rap album, it's not a good numetal album, it's not a good album. at best it's annoying, at its worst it's borderline unlistenable. this is the biggest dirtbag you know's favorite album. this album smells like a combination of black and milds and cough syrup. even if the vocal performance and lyrics don't make you want to throw up, the production here is not great either. the album kind of sounds like shit all the way through. let this one rot at the bottom of the landfill, where it should be

Can I rate things 0/5? listeners must've been STARVING for good music if this shit was getting critically acclaimed reviews in 1998.... but im glad people woke up from that hysteria..... 1/5 only until they give me the option for 0/5

All I know abou Kid Rock is his ridiculous name and his questionable politics. How apt then, that his music is shit aswell.

Fuck MAGA and fuck Bob Ritchie

DNF

Not listening to that POS

This is the sort of bs they would be able to torture anyone with in one of their secret prisons. He's not a kid and he doesn't rock. Parental advisory is not necessary because any kid in the known universe would cringe and run away from this god-awful fake music.

I hate saying this but it’s not the worst album I’ve heard on this journey. But it still sucks. And Kid Rock is a boot licking bitch

Can I give zero stars to this trash?

It sold over 15 million copies what the fuck

Unspeakably crass and imbecilic. The music's not very good either.

Nope

404 albums in and this is by far and away the worst and most undeserving album on here. In the 90s, Kid Rock didn’t make much of a splash outside the US of A, whereas his contemporaries, such as Limp Bizkit etc did (with hindsight they had some talent compare to this shite). All I knew of him was that he used to pop up on MTV Video montages as the odd fella in stupid oversized clothing thinking he was a pimp. Anyway, I never listened to any of his music because his image suggested it would be dogshite. Well, I’ve listened to the first song and the beginnings of rapping that makes Vanilla Ice look good and can confirm my suspicions were sound. This is dogshite music for people who grill music off the back of their vans. It’s a shame he never decided to be that cowboy who found a nest in the hills and chill like flint (WTF?!?) and put this shite to bed.

I got 4 songs in, yeah I tried but no, no thank you

If your racist “libertarian” uncle tried to make a rap record. And for some reason feature a 10 year old boy and have him say “I’m 3 foot 9 but got a 10 foot dick.” No lyrics have ever made me feel so uncomfortable. Disgusting rage inducing rap metal. Rage induced at the music though, not by the music.

This one is the last straw. I'm done with this whole project. The website itself is amazing. I love the whole concept, which is why I stayed with it for as long as I did. What I've come to realize, though, is that the list it uses is trash. It feels like a combination of: a) Some, admittedly, really good records from the past, b) a whole bunch of British techno garbage from the 90's... presumably the author's youth and what they were listening to, and c) just a random assortment of things we wouldn't normally listen to because they're, frankly, not very good. It's not worth my time anymore. Kid Rock sealed the deal.

No.

This truly is the worst shit I’ve ever subjected myself to. The awful rapping, shitty autotune, and rampant misogyny and bars that only 14 year old boys would find clever was incredibly hard to get though. Not even the Eminem feature could save this steaming pile of dogshit.

Sorry, but this does not fit my definition of music.

Lots of swearing but cowboy ok and genre defining

Thank you world for providing me with this one star album. Listening to this album was like watching a gruesome horror movie, only without the thrills

Fuck Kid Rock

Didn’t even listen. Fuck this man

I lived in fear of this album being out there so now I at least get to conquer it.

Blind album, know the artist. Cowboy is such an awful song that it sours anything it touches, including this album. I dont even know what the opening track was trying to say either. I dont know what this is, but it wasn't very good. Why is there a kid rapping about being 3 feet tall with a 10 foot dick?

Nope. Terrible music from a terrible person.

Id vote this less than 1 if I could

Okay, this was bad... Bad and boring. I mean, there's nothing that can save this album. Metal? I think it's more of rap than metal, seriously (but I don't like rock-rap or how it is called anyway). However, in the end, I don't care what genre it is, it feels uninteresting and too long for what it has to offer (which is nothing actually). There is one song (or two) that isn't that bad but... it isn't even good to be fair. I'm sure there's people who like it but, for me, it is definitely something I will never listen again. Really, what's the point on making this? To feel "cool"? Well, this is the "uncoolest" thing ever... It's so artificial and silly that sometimes it feels more like a parody than something serious. I am honest, I have listened to the whole thing without prejudices, but one song or two are listenable... More than an hour and ten minutes is just too much!

Some things are inevitable. Death… Taxes… and Kid Rock putting out music that sucks.

Musically, it's completely trite. Kid Rock takes his favorite aspects from popular music of the day (hip hop inspired percussion, guitar solos Ala Skynyrd and what I can only assume are attempts at rapping), tries to recreate them (poorly, I feel I must add) and jams them together into a disgusting amalgam. I think country, rock and hip hop can definitely work well together, but this is what "metal purists" think nu-metal is. A frustratingly simple approach to genre blending that comes off as insulting to all but the most ignorant. Lyrically, this music is just plain sad. It makes me upset to think of people I know, in my life, that feel something other than emptiness when listening to this. The rhymes, the wordplay and flow definitely evoke Mr. Rock's name, it sounds like a kid wrote it. This album was made in a lab by record company execs wanting to cash in on popular trends while packaging it behind the blandest wannabe gangsta white dude they could find. The biggest reason I can think of to include this album is as a time machine listen. This album is incredibly late 90s. America's hegemony was unquestionable. Music about partying has always been popular, but Kid Rock being popular goes to show you how thirsty the masses were for any music that wasn't about something negative. The counter-counter-culture to grunge, alt-rock and the metal underground. Say what you want about boomer era Clapton worship, but at least that music wasn't so fucking empty of soul. Gen X lapped this dogshit up.

absolute garbage

Couldnt finish this

He feels like a serial appropriator. A hard and embarrassing listen, reaching new lows with Only God Knows Why.

What have we got in this... country? ew. metal? can be tasteful SOMETIMES. some poser white guy? ew. i think this album is just not for me. Cowboy might JUST be the worst song i've ever heard I laughed so bad. I almost fell asleep listening to this album too so that's that too. I feel like this is for the people who think they can just start a band in their garage and expect it to blow up and them to get all the chicks and be living the life. nothing redeemable from it.

Seriously stupid album, a white guy singing low effort crappy metal music?!?! The lyrics were so terrible, so misogynistic and show how low life this guy is. Also, the fact that he is one of the major MAGA celebrities is the perfect description of how terrible this regime is.

bad

Definitely being tested listening to this. Wanted to quite halfway through the second song. The lyrics are what I’m struggling most with here. EDIT: Had to stop as soon as I heard this line: “I’ll tell you drop your boyfriend, then drop out of high school” what are we doing here? It is definitely music, but not for me.

is bro ok… who’s he shouting at like? He keeps on saying that he doesn’t care while spending 71 minutes showing that he cares far too much. I almost want to give it a 2 just to reward the nerve it took to put this out there, but then I remember what I just listened to and have to drop it down to a 1

Not my kind of music.

varmaan tuskallisin levy tähän asti. ja vielä tietty reilusti yli tunti. 1/5

Fuck you for making me listen to this garbage. Shit album by a shit human 0/10

I'll meet Robert Dimery at the gates of hell

No

This blows. A one jerk pony.

Nope. Fucking no. Uh-uh.

Just going to skip this and give it a 1 because fuck Kid Rock.

(sigh) politics is not something to be openly discussed here. right now america is having one of the biggest witch hunts in the history of the country, so i don't want to comment about it much. but goddamn this is so awful. the first songs are good to ok but the others. all over the place. ugh. 1/5

Kid Rock…ugh

Loud, glossily produced, wack trash for wilfully ignorant cucks.

instant 1. If a zero would be possible I'd give it that. what the hell is this shit doing here?

Ruim!!! Mas tem coisas piores nessa lista...

Fuck this carpetbagging anal wart AND his dogshit music. Only reason I liked any of his music is because I grew up rural and ignorant in the 90’s, and didn’t know better. Now I do. You have better things to do with your life than listen to “ Songs to be a Pedophile To: Fake Southern Boogaloo.” Do them.

No

I knew I wasn't going to like this album because of the person he is, but man, I'm so glad that I have more reasons to hate it after listening to it. The first track might be a bit fun with its wacky chorus and loud guitars, but the rest of the songs, tending more to the country and rap side more than the metal sound, are not as fun. Besides, they could be summarize as an angry white dude who only talks about how great he is and how much hits, sex, money and weed he has. Basically, this record lacks of any interesting topic or value. Futhermore, nothing prepared me to how painful the song 'Only God Knows Why' is. The terrible use of the autotune makes the track one of the most miserable experiences of the whole project. What an awful album. The only redeemable trait is the production.

Things I’m sure of after listening to this: 1. His name is Kid Rock 2. I don’t fw country rap 1/5 Best Song: Only God Knows Why - because what the actual fuck is this?

I think this guy and Limp Bizkit are often held up side by side as the goobers of their time but look: at least Limp Bizkit were somewhat Real. They were trashy Florida Guys being themselves. And, they are a bit musically interesting. Kid Rock, a fancy suburban Michigan boy, is totally unconvincing as anything but. Musically tight but boring, like a bunch of studio guys being paid to make a fancy suburban boy seem cool. Awful stuff here, just so bad. Nothing good to say.

I don’t think so, sorry

What the fuck is going on here? This is so all over the place and so bad at everything it does. The autotuned country ballad Only God Knows Why needs singling out as maybe the worst music ever recorded. I won't deny that at moments I tapped my foot but I also won't deny that doing that made me hate myself so much that I contemplated packing in this whole challenge and going to live as a monk in the mountains.

Fuck kid rock

Well. Some genuinely good instrumentals. The country-rap moments actually meshed well and imo better than the rock-rap. However, super juvenile amateur hour lyrics. The lyrics tank it completely. Kinda sounds like a comedy album at points. "life's a bitch, but I deal with her" lmao I did like that there was a reprise of an earlier song at the end. The end. Best tunes: cowboy, devil w/o a cause, wasting time, welcome 2 the party (ode 2 the old school), fist of rage, only god knows why [lol the autotune]

fuck this guy.

gopfetammi de huere tubel. würkli. es wird zimli sicher es protest 1 geh. aber losemer mol. de my name is kiiiiiiiiiiiid schono cool. und s isch afoch nu metal halt. cowboy anschinend mega früene country-rap? macht erz mega nüt mit mir, d uuuhs sind cool. er rappt huuuere goofy mann. wenns rockiger wird isch besser. aber scho seeehr "jooo ich bin so country und redneck und jo" vomne privilgiert ufgwachsne guy. ich schäm mich gad so hert dass ich das lose bruuudi. title track au huuere goofy würkli fuckin ya hoes würkli? alte er het als chind inere rieeese mansion glebt mit me stall fürd ross und so. wichser tue nöd als wärsch en redneck. okay mues pause mache. halts nöd uus. sogar de eminem verse isch gaggi. ich ha am ahfang denkt es seg vlt no decent aber er seg halt afoch en tubel. aber es isch nödmol guet, er het so fest s gfühl er seg extreeem krass. er isches nöd.

Not listening to this shit. I try to be openminded but this is a step too far. I begrudge the fractions of a cent he would earn from my streaming.

Man, this list is wasting my time.

I really wanted to give this a bonus point for genre-fusing. But this is not an album that should be celebrated. Everything that people say about the urban hip-hop community is more on display here than on any true gangster rap album I’ve ever heard. Openly advocating for murder, disgustingly misogynistic lyrics… this album is honestly pretty gross. Do Not Listen.

Genuine aural dogshit.

Have I got the right list here? Trash human makes a trash album. Full of misogyny and absolutely no redeeming musical features.

No.

No omg

No

funny

Shit album by a shit artist.

Damn, Kid Rock is really THAT bad, huh?

Garbage man makes garbage music

No streams for fascist, misogynistic assholes.

Criminal that this should be on this list.

nah dawg

Fuuuuuuuckkkkkk.... I knew this day was coming and I still was scared to hit play. Why did I have to listen to an entire fucking Kid Rock album before my death? THIS IS FUCKING GARBAGE!! Okay, let's start by playing a bit of devil's advocate. Kid Rock is a fairly influential artist... to all of the wrong people. His music helped pioneer country rap, which gave us the shit that plagues the country genre in the present day that I loathe. Anything that reminds me of that shit loses points immediately. So, it's not like there's no justification at all for this album's inclusion... is what I would say if the album had any redeeming qualities. The problem is that it doesn't! This may genuinely be the worst album I've listened to for the entire album project. Why is that? Let me fucking tell you! Let's start with instrumentals. They're whatever. A lot of it hinges on samples. Even the fairly popular opener "Bawitdaba" has its non-verses taken from other songs. I'm not against sampling or interpolation in music, but nothing interesting is done with it here. It's like "Wow. You have a Fleetwood Mac sample. Cool, I guess. Why though?" Still, the instrumentals are probably the least bad thing about the album. Everything else? Where do I begin? Kid Rock's vocals are atrocious here. The loudness of it hurts to listen to. The production doesn't do him any favors. Who did the production anyway? Oh, it was Kid Rock himself. Of course. But yeah, I don't like his voice. His rapping is very rudimentary. It kind of reminds me of cheesy 80s hip-hop but more angry. Not a fan. And don't even get me started on the fucking autotune in "Only God Knows Why." That song could be okay. It sounds decent and the writing isn't nearly as bad as the rest of the album. But they just HAD to ruin it with the autotuned vocals. I'm not against autotune when it's used well, but it is not used well here. Bad song. Speaking of writing, it fucking sucks! It's the worst part! Why is he introducing himself so much? What's with the blatant misogyny? Why the FUCK does he say the N word on the last song? This album just feels wrong for me to listen to. Is it because I know that this man goes on to dick-ride a fascist? Maybe. Is it because I hate anything that even remotely resembles Florida Georgia Line? Maybe. I don't think it's those though. I think the album just sucks. Somehow, I don't think I've made it clear enough how much I hate this album. Listening to this makes me feel like a wife-beating drunkard who watches Fox News. I hate it. Fuck Kid Rock and fuck you if you like this album. I don't trust people who unironically enjoy this man's music. I probably shouldn't be saying that, but Kid Rock probably shouldn't be saying half the things he says, am I right? This is the fucking worst thing I've heard in my life. 1/5. I'd give it a 0 if I could.

Not worth even listening to. Fuck Kid Rock!

2/10

Terrível. Este disco exala uma energia pútrida. Pra começar com a mesclagem de gêneros. Eu gosto muito quando artistas experimentam com a interdisciplinaridade musical, mas nesse caso, é de péssimo gosto. São os piores elementos do Rock Bunda misturado com os piores elementos do Rap anos 90. Ou seja, riffs patéticos, guitarras totalmente sem sal, ritmos toscos, rimas esdrúxulas, letras misóginas e excesso de palavrões que evidenciam o quão pouco o artista realmente têm a dizer. Também costumam dizer que existe uma pitada de Country na mistura, mas eu não achei. Talvez na estética? Sei lá cara. Têm uma canção que se fantasia de Country, mas é cheio de autotune e é executada de forma patética. Vai ouvir Johnny Cash, pelo amor de Deus. 1 hora de álbum? Uma hora inteira disso? Tortura, basicamente. Mas eu tive que aguentar. Em plena terça feira eu perdi 1 hora ouvindo esse lixo de disco. Não ouça, pule, não seja tolo igual eu. É muito ruim. Pobre em todos os sentidos. Tematicamente pobre. Liricamente pobre. Sonoramente pobre. Foi influente? Em tese, sim. Assim como Pol Pot foi influente. 0.5/5

Doe toch normaal.

I always knew this would happen someday and I was quite prejudiced towards this album, but it really is that bad. 1/5

I mean, what are we doing here

I couldn’t finish. Just so dated and pandering, nothing musically interesting about it

Did Not Listen

Got halfway through one song…proud of myself

I’m starting to question the validity of this list.

Pass.

Fuck Kid Rock

Next time I'll choose death thanks.

This is bad. Worse than I remembered. It's like sonic Four Loko.

Interminable. Insufferable.

He gets an automatic 1 for being a all around horrible excuse for a human. I would give him a zero if that were an option. No listening.

It pisses me off when stupid assholes get rich making bad music. Kid Rock is an ignorant, homophobic price of shit, and he doesn't deserve anything that he has. I don't care if this album is good or not. I don't wanna hear it. 1

Out of principle

The fact that this fucking album is not the bottom one but Einstürzende Neubauten and Throbbing Gristle are makes this website a joke. This album would be good if anyone else was working on it and just made different decisions because there are good people working on it but it just so happens to be in service of the most tacky mix of southern rock, rap rock and nu metal that I've ever come across, it's just not even fun anymore when the most fake guy imaginable tries to front as a deep south man and just looks extremely phoney in the process, he can't sing, he can't rap, he can't even make a decent hook with his voice so you just have this stupid album as torture that would make the CIA blush Just, no. Only God Knows Why is funny as hell tho

Horse shit

Absolutely fucking dreadful, how do I give this negative stars? Shit album topped off with a racist cherry right at the end

This was absolutely GASH.

Truly dreadful. My life was better before being subjected to this album

No.

Fuck kid rock, just awful

Fuck Kid Rock. He's a conservative asshole who promotes ignorance and bigotry.

Yuck.

🖕

I did not want to give this assclown any streaming revenue, but figured I should give the album a fair shake since I hadn’t heard any of it since it was playing on TRL. It’s just as shitty as I remembered. BUT, I’d probably rock out to bawitaba if I was drunk at a townie bar, and for that reason alone I won’t complain about the lack of a zero star rating.

Yech. No thanks.

2/10 Favourite: None Least Favourite: Only God Knows Why I could've died happy not listening to ts

If I could give this lower than 1 I would. This album is insulting to music and is bigoted in every sense of the word- only helen Keller could genuinely have a good experience with it

Rap and music don't combine.

Did not contribute to his royalties.

Life is too short for this.

Obviously awful music made by awful people. BUT this was closer to a 2/5 rating than I had anticipated. There are some genuinely catchy riffs and choruses on Devil Without A Cause. Ultimately, what sinks the album is not Kid Rock's bigoted nature or immature lyrics, but his surprisingly awful technique when rapping. Weak sauce.

Surprised that this didn’t turn out to be the worst album on this list as I would’ve guessed - but fear, it’s still quite shitty. There’s a few catchy choruses and interesting hooks, but the overall vibe of the album is just off. It’s Rage Against the Machine for nu-metal country conservatives - that’s obviously not high praise. Of course it’s all almost excusable until “Only God Knows Why” comes along and ultimately seals the deal of this being a horrible release. Oh, and I haven’t even touched upon the fact that it is 71 minutes long !!! (imagine the numbers being in caps lock for dramatic effect)

Let's start off by saying this is not political. I dont really like kid rocks politics but that is not at all what this review is about. I hate thats where we gotta start but I have to cause it only gets worse from here. This fucking blows. It feels like a teenager decided he liked run dmc, southern rock but he thinks guns and roses is southern rock, and then rage against the machine made it ok for him to combine all that. It feels so unbelievably disingenuous the whole time. Im a suburban white kid, this is what id make if I tried to make trap music. It wouldnt sound right and no matter how many cosigns I would get wouldn't make it worthwhile. The only thing that sound genuine in the whole record, other than the closer which I do give some props to, is that he drinks, does drugs, and tricks women into sleeping with him. I believe that but nothing else. The opener to fuck you makes me sad generally. He can't call his mom, or his girl, just uncle kracker with some hoes. It just makes me uncomfortable dude. Like make yourelf the villain as a character, dont just be a shit person man. But sure the lyrics suck but the music though? Almost equally terrible. I was certain I would like cowboy or bawita whatever the hell cause I liked them when I was 8. But no. Its just bad all around. Generic bullshit. No bite to anything even though that seems to be the goal of the whole thing is to get a rise out of people but it does nothing even remotely interesting. I can hear all these sounds on other records done better. It feels like a cover band greatest hits. I hated really most of this. It didn't respect my time by being over an hour long. It could have been shit and at least got on with it. But no I have to suffer for that long. The whole thing just feels like he wrote these in his algebra class and still though they were cool when he turned 24 or however old this guy is. I will give some props for the closer cause it does seem to be real and genuine but I need to take them back again cause nothing else does and it feels like I met the dude for 4 minutes at the end after chopping it up for an hour. But damn if you love kid rock thats cool. I feel happy for you but please leave me out of it next time. You guys can like him over there and I'll be over here with anything else.

In a nutshell: the adventures of the "redneck pimp daddy" Kid Rock insisted that this album is not nu-metal. Bruh, IT IS! I noticed the RUN-DMC style rap rock and country touches, but come on. It's nu-metal too. Seedy and try-hard at that. I think it's in the book because it sold 14 million units and the album was a mix of genres that somehow worked. It has its fans. It's not for me. Overall: 1/10 (a point for enthusiasm and commitment)

Kid rock is a poser and isn’t a real artist 0 stars why is this even on the list

Would be at least 3 stars if he didn’t come across so phony on just about every track. 1-2 stars. Some are listenable but most make me cringe.

Maybe Kid Rock just gets crapped on because of his politics... Nope his music is just as bad.

The worst part is that I could see the appeal of some parts of this album… but everything else associated with kid rock and his lyrics solidifies the 1 ranking.

Fuck this magat.

This album works as a time capsule, filled with the most horrendous trends of the music from the 90's. I kept listening from start to finish because it was funny. Not fun, but funny, like LOL funny. I feel like something changed in me. it might have been my IQ.

Hard pass. Hated it then not listening to it again.

Didn't listen

Wow, another no.......nope.....no

If zero stars were an option. In what possible world is this one of the albums anyone must hear before they die. Death would be preferable.

What a clown.

Nah

Traaaaaash

Hard pass

I am dumber for having heard this

new metal rap..beurk...3

I'm straight up not having a good time right now.

Oh FUCK no

In a vacuum, there are some strong licks from a 90s we wish we could all forget before the Kid descended into madness.

Kid Rock was a lesson in patience, and I already have none on a good day. He has "mom look at me" energy that's so cringy. I mean, some of the songs were catchy, but it was more cringy than catchy. Yeah, Kid Rock was a pioneer for rap and country, but his music is not good, just like how a lot of early punk is pure garbage. The autotune on "Only God Knows Why" did not allow me to take him seriously when he was genuine. And I discovered I knew a Kid Rock song in "Cowboy," which was unfortunate for all involved. Let's leave the rap and country music to the Black people who created both.

lol ew

So, so long, marred by mystifying production choices, and stuffed with so much posturing it’s kind of embarrassing. I’d compare this unfavorably to Beastie Boys and even fucking Limp Bizkit. It’s groundbreaking, you say? Oh, it has the first “country rap” song? That “Cowboy” track? Sure, okay. Right. Sounds good man. Whatever you say. To be clear, I didn’t not enjoy this because I think Kid Rock personally sucks. I didn’t enjoy this because I thought it was bad. It’s overstuffed, lyrically incurious, and still has the audacity to be boring while touching on multiple genres. It doesn’t work as rock, it doesn’t work as rap, it doesn’t work as metal, and it certainly doesn’t work as country. Had to be there, I guess? Additional, obligatory “this is kind of misogynistic” knock.

MAGA dog-whistle. A phony. Fuck Kid Rock. No reason for this to be here. Period.

No reason anyone should listen to this.

Not the worst thing I've ever heard, but man was i happy the album was finished

MAGA music 🤮

This surprised me by being bad in ways I never expected. Uninspired beats, derivative sound. Just awful

Kinder Rock. So ein Poser. Schlimm.

OK, I went on a bit of a journey with this one. I initially expected some sort of child friendly novelty music, but the opening track sounded intriguing right up to the point it turned into a white guy rapping. Alarm bells were starting to go off, but I still thought it might turn out to be something like the Beastie Boys (who really are the exception that proves the rule with this sort of music). I then went to check his Wikipedia page, which ticked every single red flag - confederate flag on stage - check, anti vaxer - check, Trump supporter - check. OK, I’m out.

Strangely enough, Kid Rock never got big in France (or at least around me) when Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and all these bands being big with their "white guy rap with saturated guitars". I am kinda glad of this, because I can see how teenage-me would have love this, and I can see how grown-up-me hates this. There are clear rip off of RATM, the guy is full of himself (it's kind of common in this branch of the business, but he's another league), the country/rap/rock is painful (I might be a white boy but I'm not an American white boy), and lots of it just sounds fake. And apparently the guy is now a giant prick (who could have predicted?). I was close to give it a 2 (for teenage-me digging rap metal), but then the album never finishes. Fuck it.

Wasn’t mad at this at first (he knew what he was doing starting with those two tracks) but this crosses the line lol. G. Love and the Special Sauce or whatever clears. An enemy of Joe Dirt is an enemy of me

Listening to this on Canada Day felt like an act of treason

just absolutely confounding... there are unequivocal truths in this world... one such unequivocal truth is that Uncle Kracker wrote 12/14 songs on this album... another unequivocal truth is that the last thing i expected to hear while listening to Kid Rock is an interpolation of fleetwood mac's second hand news.. a third unequivocal truth is that Kid Rock should have been arrested for writing Black Chick, White Guy just sayin... next time I see nick im quoting that awesome em line from fuck off about how kid rock and em are two white boys who like to drink punch and smoke joints and hang out around drugs, loud music and like lots of noise

I'm not rating this one-star because of modern-day Kid Rock's bootlicking and politics. I'm not even rating it one-star because of the music, because when he decides to do something other than chugga-chugga guitars like on Welcome 2 the Party you realise that he's not bad at rapping with the old skool flow. I'm rating this one-star because Kid Rock decided to use the last track to tear his ex a new one, used the N-word, and had the gall to name it "Black Chick, White Guy".

Complete and utter dogshit but there are some hilarious lines. The best compliment I can give this record is that if someone approached me and said “hey Justin, I’m looking for the perfect soundtrack for when I go out at night and steal catalytic converters from the cars parked overnight in the Big Lots parking lot uptown. Not the one downtown near the Home Depot, but the one next to the old Arby’s where that guy tried to sell us hash that one time. Anyways what should I listen to?” Well, my answer would obviously be “Night Moves” by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, but maybe, just maybe, and strictly as a bit, I would suggest Devil Without a Cause after thinking it over for awhile, thus changing the answer I gave to my friend probably hours after he already committed the crimes. I’m also wondering how he’s planning to get around because ever since his third DUI, the one on his bicycle on the interstate, I’ve had to be the one to drive him to his PO’s office. Am I now complicit in this small crime spree because I listened to this album one time, via YouTube in an incognito window? Who is to say.

An album that actively sapped my will to live by having to listen to it. But “Bawitdaba” still kinda hits I guess.

My opinion has not changed on this in 27 years when it was released.

Stopped listening halfway. No worthy of the airtime.

This is so stupid it makes Limp Bizkit look smarter than Stephen Hawking. Nobody needs to listen to this crap.

I was aware of kid rock as a human, but not his music. I was also aware this has a bad reputation here so wasn't looking forward to it. 72 minutes later and i understand the hate. The lyrics are written by a sentient can of energy drink at a maga rally. They are truly awful, the kind a 14 year old boy would write when he's sniffing marker pens while angry at his dad. However, musically it is not an abomination. Its not my thing, but there is some decent touches here and there and i can see how this goes across well through shitty speakers at the lake while drinking shitty beer. 1.5 stars rounded down because it does not need to be over an hour

Cock rock with rap. I’ll never listen again.

(insert GIF of a cat retching here)

🎧Steaming garbage by an absolute dipshit. If I could select just one album to be removed from Dimery’s book, this would be it.

Will never listen to this garbage

Arguably the worst album

Pretty much as terrible as I remembered; just dumb songs from a spoiled kid who has made a career "slumming it" as a trailer park boy. Sonically, it's a hodgepodge of every popular 90s music trope, from LL Cool J to Alice in Chains, but not done with any conviction other than "look how much I don't give a shit."

lmao

Fuck this, this is legitimately horrible.

Love to give this one a whole zero

não

It's about as bad as people say. It's basically music for being angry. Not a righteous anger about the injustice in the world. More of a selfish anger that you didn't get the easy life you were promised as a white middle-class American boy...

Really, genuinely disliked every song! :) Very misogynistic, bad lyrics, all the songs sound the same. Literally nothing redeemable for me.

White boy not invited to the cookout. Didn't like this one... Lot of noise... Lot of yelling about beer and being angry about stuff. From a musicality perspective the 'beats' are a little bit honky tonk, a little bit rap? Maybe a little catchy but it is easy to ignore because of the cringe lyrics. All in all I wanted this one to be over pretty much as soon as the first song started. Would not listen again.

So, I kinda dug this when it came out..... but now when I listen to it, it's super repetitive in both themes (hey....did you know I'm a loud redneck pimp*???) and yelling. *if you have to keep saying it, you aren't. Also..........he was not a redneck, as his father owned auto dealerships, so this guy grew up privileged.

I was trying to be fair when listening to this, concentrate on the music rather than the person. To be fair it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - but it is still awful.

First one I didn't make it through. Guess I don't want to be a cowboy.

Fuck Kid Rock.

wish i could move any of the 1 stars up because this album is just that bad

Get this trash off of the list

youre everyone you hate asleep or awake the choices you make youre everyone you hate and its ruining your life

I was never gonna listen to this, but have a review that will make sure I never have to think about it again. I managed to skim through the start of about 4 tracks before giving up. As Spotify says for track 12: Kid Rock Fuck Off

Okay okay okay, hear me out. What if we took some of the most controversial and disliked genres in western music - country, nu metal, and gangsta rap - and mashed them all together with no real thought behind how it would sound? No wait, don't go just yet, we've got the perfect frontman for it - no, he's not likeable. No, he hasn't got any real flow or charisma. But he hunt out with Ice Cube once? Hey, where are you going? Absolutely awful, I wouldn't wish this on my enemies. The only reason I can think of it being on this list is as a cautionary tale. Apparently it started the new genre of rap country, and maybe it shouldn't have.

Awful, just absolutely awful. Not even the production is good on this. I have heard “bawitaba” more times than I can remember but holy crap I didn’t remember it sounding this bad. I hate everything about this. I wish I could give it 0 stars.

The man is a fucking idiot, fascist and fraud

Let me just start by saying that in some ways I am a simple animal. A solid beat, and some hard rock riffs will get my head bopping. But then the vocals kick in, and another animal instinct kicks in: rage. Simple, juvenile, misogynist, braggadocious , and mostly offensive. Offensive to my ears that is. Then rinse, wash, repeat for 71 minutes. 71 minutes of same sounding tracks, conveying the same message. It's too much and even the solid beats, and heavy riffs that got me going start to grate on my nerves. Take this down to a slim 45 minutes and I would still not like it, but at least it wouldn't be as much of a slog. Well, no, it still would be.

Annoyed that I gave this man 0.005 cents to stream this album

Das ist so arsch

Bawitdaba Cowboy

Tedious! More like Kid Schlock!

Kid Rock is a total douche canoe.

Turn it up, so the limp-dick woke liberals in the back can hear!! Banger of a fuckin' album!

If I could give this less than one star I would. It’s just so empty and uninteresting. Not to mention Kid Rock supports fascism. So fuck him

Fuck no, I'm not giving this dipshit my time or the fraction of the penny he'd get in streaming revenue. I've heard that stupid song thousands of times, not gonna see if there are any surprises on the rest of the album. Go shoot guns at woke beer you freak

Not interested

An hour of Kid Rock sucking his own dick to how cool he is and the thought that I will never live up to him

I don't listen to MAGA dipshits.

Why is this tagged as metal? This is not even remotely metal. It’s missing the rhythmic complexity/intensity and the musical aggression (NOT the false chest-beating of Kid Rock) that defines the genre. Chuck Berry is musically closer to Thrash than this is to metal. Instead, this is genuinely terrible (and pathetically imitative of ‘90s hip-hop and rock) music that drains intelligence from the listener. It presents no ideas worth hearing either musically or lyrically, yet astonishingly drags itself out for seventy-one minutes. But while we’re on the subject of metal, why do we get a Kid Rock album, but are missing seminal metal records from Bathory, Mayhem, Death, Incantation, Darkthrone, Meshuggah, Opeth, and Mastodon? This is a seriously under-represented genre in this list and we’re filling up precious few slots with some of the worst music ever made; music that isn’t really even part of the genre. What a tragedy. 0.5/5.0: Unlistenable

individually, the songs aren't as bad as everyone is making them out to be. if you turn your brain off for a bit some of them are actually pretty fun tracks. they arent good, but they arent that bad. that said listening to them back to back is torturous. there are maybe three distinct ideas across the whole album, recycled endless across tracks which are already far too long for how little substance they offer. up until now in the review, i've separated the art from the artist because, lets face it, if we judged every album here by the artist's behavior, a lot of classics wouldn't get a single star. that said, kid rock is one artist who absolutely deserves to be lambasted for his actions. the lyrics of the last song are a clear window into a deep rooted, ugly mindset that poisons any remaining enjoyment this album might've offered.

Hot trash.

Some fun stuff here, but basically the dream album of a White teen or an incel/cryptobro. Plus the fact that Kid Rock is a stain of a human being.

I knew this album was overdue to turn up, but I was still dreading it. I figured I'd never heard any Kid Rock tracks before, but it turns out I did know the very first track, and it wasn't actually as bad as I was expecting. Although my hatred for Kid Rock largely stems from his support for the orange-faced Nazi who he loves to appear on stage with, I wanted to try and listen to this without prejudice. It's difficult, when the artist is such a terrible person, but I managed to do this for Kanye West, so I made a similar effort here. The rest of the album more than made up for the first track. Awful sampling, auto-tune, dreadful lyrics, even Eminem couldn't save this garbage. There's various styles here that reminded me of other (far better) artists. I was feeling an ICP vibe for a while, but without the comedic lyrics, or the fact that the ICP members are genuinely nice people. Later, there was a section that felt a bit more Rage Against the Machine, but like a master mix of their greatest hits with dumb lyrics. There was even a bit that felt like early Beastie Boys, but with only one singer, and again, those awful lyrics that grated more and more. I think the lyrics were what killed any enjoyment for me by the end. The last track is just so bad, unnecessary, and embarrassing that it should never have been recorded. Every time Mr Rock raps about being a "pimp" it just made me feel a bit sorry for his attempts to sound like something he obviously isn't. Also, slapping a rehash of an earlier track on the end of an already overfull album, is just a weird decision. This really is an album that didn't need to exist in my opinion. It offers nothing new, and yes, I'm including country-rap-metal in that. I don't think this was as ground breaking as some people think.

nah. hard pass

Loved this when it first came out then turned my nose at it when I refined my musical palate. Would be interesting to revisit. OK I liked it because I was a kid and this album is juvenile. I mean, some nu metal survived and remained relevant. Looking back at Slipknot, Korn or SOAD you can really appreciate what they did and what they brought to the table, even if you don’t personally like it. This, on the other hand, is utter crap. Stupid lyrics and music that is fully based around tropes which were worn out even then. I don’t think it has enough of a historical importance as well. Hybrid Theory was much more important in bringing this kind of music mainstream, and artistically there’s nothing here.

1 star. Fuck this guy 👎👎👎👎👎😒

Well that was shithouse.

Yuk

Trash

Kid rock. Nuff said

Lol, what is Kid Rock doing here?

Armed with a flow to make other rappers cringe, lyrics that are an embarrassment to the first sentence ever put to paper and a persona tottaly pulled out of his ass, kid rock managed to put together an album that's equally overproduced as underproduced, and manages to stand out as the absolute garbage in an era plagued with cringy Nu Metalbands, overtly clean Pop starlets and tryhard fake gangsta rappers.

It's been a while since I felt no guilt or uncertainty about awarding 1 star. This had absolutely no redeeming qualities.

The only way I could enjoy this is if part of my frontal lobe was removed.

Nope

Kid Rock - Devil Without A Cause There is a huge difference between listening to music and listening to this "music". Just awful. Truly awful in every way. As a rap fan myself, this is a huge stain for the culture, and I'm glad that hardly anyone ever remembers this album's existence to begin with. It's disappointing that this album somehow got to be into this website in the first place, I could've gone my whole life without ever hearing this album ever, but here I am. If I was eminem myself, I would have NEVER been involved with an album like this AT ALL. Every way you can think of this going bad ends up being worse than expected. This is why white guys have a bad stereotype of being vultures in the rap culture, because of people like him, trying to appeal to a certain demographic instead of respect what rap truly is and experiment with it without losing it's fundamentals and essence that hip-hop actually has. It's sad, cause there's actually some good white rappers out there like El-P, Aesop Rock, Mac Miller, Lil Ugly Mane, R.A. the Rugged Man, and of course, Eminem, and yet people like "Kid Rock" just ruin it for everyone who are genuinely respecting the culture and not turning it into their own thing. This was embarassing to hear, I wished I had 1 hour and 11 minutes back into life, it really was a waste of time. Overall, this is BAD. 1.- Bawitdaba = 5/10 2.- Cowboy = 3/10 3.- Devil Without a Cause = 2/10 4.- I Am the Bullgod = 3/10 5.- Roving Gangster (Rollin') = 2/10 6.- Wasting Time = 4/10 7.- Welcome 2 the Party (Ode 2 the Old School) = 1/10 8.- I Got One for Ya' = 6/10 9.- Somebody's Gotta Feel This = 4/10 10.- Fist of Rage = 4/10 11.- Only God Knows Why = 3/10 12.- Fuck Off = 4/10 13.- Where U at Rock = 3/10 14.- Black Chick, White Guy / I Am the Bullgod = 1/10 FINAL SCORE: 3.2/10

Slop, like pretty much everything else Kid Rock has ever made

Listened Before? Y This one use to be a big favorite of mine back before Kid lost his fucking mind. Now I refuse to listen to it and give him money. Get lost. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: None

Such an embodiment of the late 90s/early 00s. And all of that has now rotted and metastasized.

I hate Red Bull. Vodka is meh. Put them together and you have the only way that Red Bull is tolerable. Sheryl Crow is Vodka, just kind of bland. Kid Rock is Red Bull. The song Picture is the only tolerable Kid Rock because it's cut with Sheryl Crow. This album has nothing to cut it, it's the worst.

If I could turn myself into a 15 year old that dropped out of school in the 6th grade, this album might cook. Robert James Ritchie is a poser that can’t rap very well. This was a waste of 71 minutes that I will never get back.

Is there a zero star option?

NOooo thanks

You're kidding me, no?

This is dreadful. Cowboy had me extremely worried, it is actually awful. Thankfully, the album never gets quite that bad again, at least not until Only God Knows Why. Wow. The only positive I think I can give is that the guitars are sometimes decently heavy and have a decent tone. Like there's something very vaguely resembling Rage Against the Machine hidden buried under utter shit. In fact, Kid Rock also vaguely resembles Chris Cornell at points, like on the screams on I Am The Bullgod and the melodic vocals on Roving Gangster, making it sound like an absolutely terrible Audioslave cut they left on the studio floor Otherwise it's full of shitty nu metal clichés- turntable scratching, shitty rapping and excessive use of that fucking filter effect on the vocals. The lyrics are dreadful. Kid Rock tries to copy boastful rappers but comes across like an utter tool. "I swing low like a chimp" shut the fuck up. "Can drink about 15 Heinekens" wow, hardcore. The hard n-word as well on the last track, what a cunt. He seems like such a loser, trying to simultaneously portray himself as a poor Detroit kid like Eminem, but also a good old southern boy, whilst apparently growing up well off. Just embarrassing Also, like most 90s and early 2000s albums it's way, way too long. Why did it not occur to anyone that just because CDs mean you can stuff it with that much music, it doesn't mean you should? Guantanamo Bay torture music Highlights: Batwitdaba

This... this is fucking terrible.

Have this on CD, used to really like it. But after his antics over the past decade it's unlistenable.

Wish I could give this no stars
